How to remove or delete app names on Android [Guide]

Is it possible to remove app icon names or labels on Android? The answer is simple, yes. However, such a thing isn’t possible if you just rely on your device’s default options for appearance and personalization. Now, what if you don’t have any advanced knowledge with regards to Android development? Simply put, you’re just aiming for better device aesthetics. Well, you can still make your app icons “label-free”. It doesn’t even matter whether they’re on your home screen or app drawer.

Now, here’s the catch. You will need to replace your device’s default home screen launcher in order for this method to work. Anyways, if you are still cool with this, feel free to proceed and follow the steps below.

Getting Started

On your Android phone or tablet, go to Play Store then search for a replacement home screen launcher app called Epic Launcher. Download and install this app on your device.

Once the said app is installed, it will automatically replace your device’s default home screen launcher.

Now that Epic Launcher has been successfully enabled as your home screen launcher, all you need to do is to go its main settings. To do this, just find the app icon that states “Settings”. This icon is usually located at the main screen. (see image below)
